Plot:
It's a perscription of laughteras the Marxes skewer the medical profession and bring home a racetrack winner. On your Marx for tootsie-frootsie ice cream, madcap medical exams, wallpaper wackiness and more.

Another good addition to my collection. I got a lot of laughs out of this one. One of my favorite scenes must be Groucho as a doctor giving Harpo a medical exam. I have found I really like The Marx Brothers. For me they are right up there with Abbott and Costello as favorite classic comedy teams.

The Killer That Stalked New York, a review by GSyren

Title	The Killer That Stalked New York (043396-424661)
Director	Earl McEvoy
Actors	Evelyn Keyes, Charles Korvin, William Bishop, Dorothy Malone, Lola Albright
Produced	1950 in United States
Runtime	76 minutes
Audio	English Dolby Digital Mono
Subtitles	None
Overview
My thoughts	For some reason, Hollywood often seems to create similarly themed movies at the same time. This movie was made about the same time as Elia Kazan's Panic in the Streets. That one was about the bubonic plague, this one is about smallpox. This one was made on a lower budget, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's inferior. It's a dark film noir with solid acting for the most part. Among the uncredited performances I'd like to mention Walter Burke as the rather slimy bellhop, and Jim Backus (Gilligan's Island) as one of the smallpox victims. I found this film quite exciting. We may have other diseases to worry about today, but the theme is as topical today as it was back then. Recommended.
My rating	3,5 out of 5

NCIS Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

1. KILL ARI (PART I)
Gibbs and the NCIS team must confront their emotions about Kate's death at the hands of Ari, renowned terrorist who may have ties to new NCIS agent Ziva David. Meanwhile, Jenny Shepard, a woman from Gibbs' past, is introduced as the new director of NCIS.

My Thoughts:
This is a good opening to the season. I liked that they got to somewhat deal with their feelings of the lost of the teammate. And I like the couple of new characters we got with the start of the new season.

My Rating: 4

2. KILL ARI ( PART II)
Ducky is kidnapped, and Gibbs tries to avenge Kate's death in a showdown with Ari.

My Thoughts:
A good ending to the 3rd season opener. I like how Ziva is so different then Kate. I think it would have been a mistake replacing her with a similar character.

My Rating: 4

3. MIND GAMES
Three days before a serial killer is executed, Gibbs tries to get him to reveal where the bodies of his victims are buried.

My Thoughts:
An excellent episode. I have enjoyed this one with every viewing. It really has a good and suspenseful storyline.

My Rating: 5

4. SILVER WAR
The NCIS team discovers that a man found encased in a Civil War-era tomb was buried alive.

My Thoughts:
A good... but somewhat standard episode. Though I do like the whole Cival War re-enactment thing... especially Tony's dislike for the whole thing.

My Rating: 4
